Long-term NMOSD Data

Author(s)Sean Pittock, MD

Key Takeaways

Satralizumab and inebilizumab demonstrate sustained efficacy and favorable safety profiles in NMOSD management, reducing relapse rates significantly.
Satralizumab targets interleukin-6 receptors, while inebilizumab targets CD19, both contributing to reduced relapse rates in NMOSD patients.
Rituximab, used off-label, effectively reduces NMOSD relapses but necessitates careful safety monitoring due to its CD20-targeting mechanism.

Sean Pittock, MD, discusses the long-term efficacy and safety results of other FDA-approved treatments for neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder, including satralizumab, inebilizumab, and the off-label use of rituximab.
